Abstract

Contrast media (CM)-induced renal vasoconstriction is an important factor in the pathogenesis of CM-induced nephrotoxicity. The effects of ionic, high-osmolar CM sodium/meglumine diatrizoate and nonionic, low-osmolar CM iohexol and iopamidol were studied in rabbit, dog, and pig renal arteries and compared with human tissue in an organ bath.
